a hiJacking (15)An in-depth character study of two men caught up in the hijacking of their ship by Somali pirates. Making vivid use of real locations that immerse you in the day-to-day problems facing both men, this gripping tale has the understated approach of the best thrillers, allowing the tension to simply build and build as the nightmare scenario unfolds.

Summer inFeBruary (15)Aspiring artist Florence Carter-Wood is at the centre of a complex love triangle, torn between extrovert AJ Munnings, and his best friend and frightfully good chap Gilbert Evans. Played out against the picturesque beauty of the Cornish coast, this enchanting “true” story is a must-see for anyone who likes a romantic costume drama.DiRectOR: christopher MenauStaRRinG: Dominic cooper, emily Browning, Dan StevensuK, 2013, 1 hour 41 minutes

Director: Steven SoderberghStarring: Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Rob Lowe, Debbie ReynoldsuSa, 2013, 1 hour 40 minutes

Suffocating in a marriage of convenience to an arrogant landowner, Thérèse grudgingly accepts the limits put upon her until her best friend Anne begins a passionate love affair with a dashing young man. Like The Well Digger’s Daughter, this is a delightful concoction of dark family secrets, beautiful period costumes and sun-drenched French countryside.

A frank exploration of the tempestuous relationship between Las Vegas singer and legendary cultural institution Liberace and his much younger live-in lover, Scott Thorson. Soderbergh deftly balances the amusing extremes of Liberace's lifestyle – the over-the-top clothes and the palatial home – with the sadder realities of a life lived in the closet. Mon 15 6pm

WadJda (12a)Making a film in a country where cinema has been banned for over thirty years is an achievement for any director. When that filmmaker also happens to be a woman, in a country where it is illegal for women to drive let alone direct, its all the more impressive. Lit up by an utterly disarming central performance, this is a hugely appealing, heartfelt gem that will give you a rare glimpse into everyday Saudi society.

romeo & JuLiet (pg tBc)With a script by Downton Abbey scribe Julian Fellowes, this is a more traditional take on the story of the star-crossed lovers than Baz Luhrmann’s gangland version. Shot in Mantua and Verona this is bound to be a feast for the eye. But the cast’s the thing, so the choice of Hailee Steinfeld, and Douglas Booth both look like strong options.
